2017 PROGRESS REPORT • Mid-Hudson Regional Economic Development Council 3

Dear Governor Cuomo,

On behalf of the Mid-Hudson Regional Economic Development Council, I am pleased to present our 2017 Progress

Report, “Future Forward: Progress with Purpose.” As a result of strategic investments over the past six years, we are

seeing a new momentum in the Mid-Hudson. Our Council is building on this new energy, and the proposals in this

year’s Report represent the next step forward.

Through your leadership and the support of New York State agencies, the Mid-Hudson has brought nearly $476

million into the Region through Rounds I through VI of the Regional Council process, supporting 574 projects.

We are extremely proud of the fact that 90% of these projects are either complete or progressing, that they have

leveraged private dollars at a 6:1 ratio, and that they are projected to create 5,781 permanent jobs, retain 14,786

permanent jobs and create 8,389 construction/indirect jobs. As a Council, we are focused on building on our record

and reaching new levels of success for the Mid-Hudson through Round VII and beyond.

This year, Council members worked tirelessly to engage with our communities and solicit regionally transformational

projects to help us to achieve this goal. After careful consideration, we have selected 19 Regional Council Capital

Fund Priority Projects that have the potential to generate nearly $300 million in economic activity and leverage

private dollars at a ratio of nearly 14:1.

Most importantly, these projects help move the Mid-Hudson forward, building on our strategy and leveraging our

strengths. We have identified projects that will continue the revitalization of our urban centers and complement the

State’s Downtown Revitalization Initiative award in the City of Kingston. We have endorsed projects that support

growth in priority clusters, including advanced manufacturing initiatives such as Schatz Bearing in Poughkeepsie, and

biotech projects such as the Radiological Research Accelerator Facility in Irvington. And we have proposed tourism

projects, like the Historic Antrim Lodge in Roscoe, that will encourage visitors to experience the natural beauty and

unique local flavor the Mid-Hudson has to offer.

On behalf of the Mid-Hudson Regional Economic Development Council I would like to thank you, Governor Cuomo,

for your innovative approach to economic development, and for the opportunity to partner with you over the past

seven years. Our Council is excited about the work we have completed in 2017, and we look forward to the new

opportunities that lie ahead in 2018.

Very truly yours,

Dennis J. Murray, Ph.D.

President Emeritus, Marist College

2017 PROGRESS REPORT • Mid-Hudson Regional Economic Development Council 76 Mid-Hudson Regional Economic Development Council • 2017 PROGRESS REPORT

Executive summary

In 2017, the Mid-Hudson Regional Economic Development Council (“Council” or “MHREDC”) has witnessed a new momentum building in our Region. We have seen remarkable progress generated by the projects and initiatives funded in previous years. To capitalize on this new energy, we have identified signature projects aligned with our vision for the future of the Region. These investments will leverage our unique assets and opportunities, and allow us to seize this critical moment to propel the Mid-Hudson forward.

PROGRESS WITH PURPOSE

Our Council has a clear vision for the future of the Mid-Hudson. This vision is the focus for everything we do, and it is starting to take hold. In this future, our urban centers are transformed into vital, attractive places for businesses and millennial talent to locate. Across our Region, thriving businesses in a variety of industries create jobs and growth. And our valley is a popular and internationally-known tourist destination. This is progress with purpose – moving the Mid-Hudson forward to realize the vision we call LIVE, WORK, and PLAY.

LIVE

An initiative that seeks to revitalize the Region’s many river, hilltop, and cross-roads urban centers,

encouraging smart growth, transit-oriented development, downtown revitalization, and

infrastructure improvements in order to stimulate job creating

and prevent youth flight.

WORK

An industry-based initiative that seeks to attract and retain quality jobs in the Region’s mature and

emerging clusters including biotech, advanced and high-tech

manufacturing, information technology, financial and professional

services, and distribution, and to match them with the Mid-Hudson’s

highly-educated workforce.

PLAY

An initiative that seeks to position the Region as a premier

tourist location based on its scenic beauty, local agriculture, food and beverage industry, arts,

culture, history, and recreational assets, as well as its proximity

to New York City.

MEASURING OUR SUCCESS

Our Council focuses on results, and we closely track the economic and quality of life indicators that help us measure those results. Our Region has made good progress in many of the key indicators we track (page 11). Unemployment continues to decline, the total number of establishments in the Region has increased, and wages have remained stable. There is no doubt that the Mid-Hudson is gaining ground, but we still lag behind overall State averages in many areas, showing the continuing need for targeted funding support. Projects that have received Consolidated Funding Application (CFA) funding in Rounds I-VI are moving forward well. Of the 574 projects that were awarded funding, 90% are either complete or progressing. We are also proud of our leverage ratio, which is 6:1 for all these funded projects.

DOWNTOWN REVITALIZATION INITIATIVE: KINGSTON’S MOMENT

There is no doubt that the City of Kingston is having its moment. As the recipient of this year’s $10 million Mid-Hudson Region Downtown Revitalization Initiative Award, Kingston is poised for transformation, creating prosperity for the Region as a whole. The Council has identified a number of projects that complement this significant investment, and align with our economic development strategy (see proposed priority project descriptions beginning on page 46). The Kingstonian Uptown Revitalization Project is a large-scale development that will create substantial new residential and commercial space, as well as much-needed parking infrastructure, within the Stockade Business District. The Stockade Works project will support a state-of-the-art media, arts, and technology center in midtown Kingston, creating new jobs and transforming an underutilized warehouse. And the Hutton Brickyards Redevelopment Project will help the Kingston waterfront realize its potential as a major regional draw for visitors.

The State’s DRI award will have a transformative impact on the City of Kingston. We believe that these additional projects will amplify that impact for the benefit of our entire Region.

MID-HUDSON MOMENTUM

The Mid-Hudson is moving forward to achieve our LIVE, WORK, and PLAY vision, building on our geographic, demographic, and economic strengths. With the support of the State for the priority projects identified in this report, we believe we can capitalize on this momentum, accelerate job creation and growth, and help all our diverse communities flourish.

The 89 priority projects that received ESD capital grant funding in past rounds were endorsed by the Council because they help make our vision for the future a reality. Eighty-seven percent of these projects are either complete or progressing. And the leverage ratio for this group of projects is a remarkable 11:1, demonstrating the extraordinary return on the State’s investments in the Mid-Hudson.

Each of these projects is directly aligned with one of the elements of our LIVE, WORK, and PLAY strategy (see past priority project status updates beginning on page 18). Many of these projects support more than one of these elements, and that is part of what made them so compelling to the Council. The Saw Mill River Daylighting project is a case in point. This project has unearthed the Saw Mill River, which had been buried for a century, and has helped to spark a revitalization in the City of Yonkers – supporting our LIVE initiative. It has generated new economic activity and jobs in the area, in the form of retail businesses, restaurants, and major new residential development projects – supporting our WORK initiative. And it has brought visitors to our region, attracted by those new restaurants and other recreational assets – supporting our PLAY initiative.

Additional information on implementation highlights can be found in Part 3, Implementing Strategies through the Project Pipeline (page 24).

A ROBUST PROJECT PIPELINE

This Council has been effective in raising public awareness of its work in previous years, and it continued that success this year. As a result of members’ extensive consultation and outreach efforts, the Mid-Hudson once again received more Consolidated Funding Applications (CFAs) and Downtown Revitalization Initiative (DRI) applications than any other region (page 84).

From this robust list of applicants, the Council has named 19 Capital Fund Priority Projects that will build on our momentum and move our strategy forward. Each project is aligned with one of our LIVE, WORK, and PLAY initiatives, and many advance more than one of these strategies (see page 45 for a complete list of the 2017 Regional Council Capital Fund Priority Projects). Taken together, they have the potential to generate nearly $300 million in economic activity, and to create or retain more than 4,000 jobs, leveraging private investment at a ratio of nearly 14:1.

These projects also contribute directly to key State initiatives, including addressing the skills gap (page 32), and supporting the State Life Sciences Cluster (page 31).

State of the Region/Performance MeasuresLocated a short drive north from New York City and south from Albany, the Mid-Hudson Region incorporates Dutchess, Orange, Putnam, Rockland, Sullivan, Ulster and Westchester counties. The Region offers one of America’s most vibrant business climates, with almost one million highly educated workers and hundreds of Fortune 500 companies. The combination of a high quality of life and a vibrant economy makes the Mid-Hudson Region a great place for many to LIVE, WORK, and PLAY.

In addressing the state of the Region’s economy, the MHREDC relies on its strategic plan, economic trends, previous annual reports, and guidance from New York State. The 2017 Progress Report contains General Economic Indicators which address economic conditions in the Mid-Hudson Region by showing key metrics as well as an indication of trends since the Council’s inception, Quality of Life Indicators which represent measures to assess issues central to the well-being of residents within the Region, and Key Regional Indicators which assess the Region’s economy as it relates to the industry clusters identified by the Council as important to the LIVE, WORK, and PLAY strategies.

QUALITY OF LIFE INDICATORS

Table 2 shows the regional quality of life indicators which allow the MHREDC to assess issues central to the well-being of residents in the Mid-Hudson Region. The Council continues to identify ways in which, through the Region’s strategic plan implementation, all residents will have the ability to be living above the poverty line. It is important to note, that although Table 2 shows the Region is declining in the metric of people below the poverty line, the changes year over year have been minimal. For example in 2014, 10.9% of the Region’s population was living below the poverty line, and in 2015 11.1% of the population was living below the poverty line. The Council will continue its efforts in ensuring all residents of the Region have the opportunity for living wage employment.

GENERAL ECONOMIC INDICATORS

Table 1 represents the regional dashboard of economic performance indicators. For each of these indicators, the Council monitors the indicator relative to last year, and longitudinally, over the course of the Council’s tenure (2011-2016) where such data is available. In addition, the table indicated the Region’s progress with statewide data for comparison.

Overall, the regional economic indicators demonstrate the regional economy is improving. Unemployment continues to decline, although at a slower pace than 2011-2014, where the region saw a drastic 28% decrease

from 7.4% unemployment in 2011 to 5.3% in 2014. Private and public sector employment increased, but is still lagging statewide trends. The Region’s number of establishments has increased by 4.58% since 2011 and total annual wages remain stable in the Mid-Hudson. Despite the Region’s gains in various metrics, the regional economy still lags statewide improvements from 2011 to 2016, demonstrating a need for continued investment from New York State through the Regional Council process.

The Region shows improvement in this metric. The Region is declining in this metric. The Region is stable in this metric (change of less than 1%).

MIGRATION AND COMMUTING 3

The civilian workforce of the Mid-Hudson Region has increased from 1,082,852 in 2014 to 1,095,188 in 2015, representing a 1.1% increase. On average the workforce of the Region commutes 33.7 minutes to their place of business. This significant daily investment allows individuals to live and work in different locations, balancing between living costs and residential amenities with the wage they can obtain at their place of employment. The Mid-Hudson Region, strategically positioned between New York City and Albany, provides a very diverse landscape for housing, employment and recreational opportunities, which is why 74.6% of the workforce live and work in the same Region and 97.9% of people living in the Region remained here from 2014 to 2015. This commutation statistic is very similar to that of the Long Island Region, where 77.7% of their workforce live and work in the Region. When compared to other regions throughout the state, 74.6% and 77.7% may seem low, but the statistic reflects the proximity and ease of access to New York City and the employment opportunities the Region provides.

WORK

The WORK initiative is an industry based initiative that seeks to attract and retain quality jobs in the Region’s mature and emerging clusters including biotech, advanced and high-tech manufacturing, information technology, financial and professional services, and distribution.

The WORK cluster employed 271,766 individuals in 2016, a 0.58% increase from 2015. The Healthcare Industry saw a 1.85% increase in employment, the greatest increase from 2015 to 2016 in the WORK cluster, followed closely by Biotech & Other Life Sciences reporting a 1.14% increase from 2015 to 2016.

PLAY

The PLAY Initiative is one that seeks to position the Region as a premier tourist location based on its scenic beauty, local agriculture, food and beverage industry, arts, culture, history, and recreational assets, as well as its proximity to New York City.

The Food and Beverage Industry along with Tourism, Arts & Culture continue to demonstrate strong growth in the Region and lay the foundation for a diverse and robust economy in the Mid-Hudson.


Status of Past Priority ProjectsPROGRESS MADE SINCE 2011

The Mid-Hudson Region’s priority projects from the past six rounds of the Regional Economic Development Council process have exemplified true economic development as they continue to make significant progress towards completion. To date, 87% of the 89 priority projects that have been funded since 2011 are either completed or are progressing. (See page 18 for full list of priority projects). Furthermore, those 89 projects represent an 11:1 leverage ratio of total project cost to ESD capital grant dollars.

The Glenwood Power Plant Project, awarded $1 million in 2012, has just completed the awarded phase of the project. The roughly $15.7 million project consisting of necessary structural stabilization, priority utility work, and access improvements on a three phase project will allow for adaptive reuse of the former Glenwood Power Plant in the City of Yonkers, Westchester County. Having recently completed phase one of the project,

they are now moving forward with subsequent phases, bringing the once blighted and defunct power plant back to life as a tourist attraction and recreational asset for the Region. Once all phases are completed, this project will lead to further investment for the creation of a waterfront multi-use event and exhibition space. This project furthers the MHREDC’s PLAY strategy, as it contributes to the goal of positioning the Region as a premier tourist destination, showcasing the Yonkers waterfront’s scenic beauty and industrial history.

EFCO Products, Inc., a specialty food manufacturer in the City of Poughkeepsie, Dutchess County, has been awarded in three consecutive rounds of the Regional Economic Development Council Process – 2014, 2015, and 2016. Each year EFCO has made a significant investment in machinery and equipment to increase capacity and market share in the bakery mixes and powdered coatings as well as cooked fillings, toppings and syrups industries. This project, in Downtown Poughkeepsie, furthers the MHREDC’s WORK strategy, as it contributes to the goal of attracting and retaining quality jobs in the Region’s mature manufacturing cluster, and furthers the Council’s goal of identifying projects that assist with Downtown Revitalization.

PROGRESS IN THE PAST YEAR

Many of the Mid-Hudson Region’s priority projects from the past six rounds of the Regional Economic Development Council process have made significant progress since just last year. Hepworth Farms Hudson Valley Grown Farm Hub was awarded $300,000 in 2014 to purchase and rehabilitate a historic packing, wholesale distribution, storage and retail facility to create a food hub to benefit the growing Hudson Valley farm community. Having recently completed the project, including outfitting the space with state-of-the-art equipment, this $1,782,237 project in Milton, Ulster County has retained 94 jobs and created 10. Several local agricultural producers are already taking advantage of the distribution hub. This project furthers the MHREDC’s PLAY strategy, as it contributes to the goal of positioning the Region as a premier tourist destination, promoting local agriculture and the food and beverage industry.The Center for Discovery was awarded $2.5 million in 2012 for a roughly $31.9 million project to undertake the construction of community-based

services in Hurleyville, Sullivan County. This project has just recently been completed, including living spaces throughout the community, a MakerLab and more. The project will create 231 new jobs and has already created an impressive 209, expanding The Center for Discovery’s ability to continue to be a provider of research, intervention and residential services for children and adults with developmental disabilities and medical complexities – including those on the autism spectrum. This project furthers the MHREDC’s WORK strategy, as it contributes to the goal of attracting and retaining quality jobs in the Region’s mature biotech and healthcare clusters.The MHREDC will continue to monitor the progress of projects that have been awarded funding over the past six rounds of the Regional Council process.

Status of all Projects Awarded CFA Funding

In addition to the Mid-Hudson Region’s priority projects, other awarded projects from the past six rounds of the Regional Economic Development Council process have continued to contribute to the progress of our seven-county area. A total of 574 projects have been awarded funding in the Mid-Hudson Region over the past 6 years. Of those 574 projects, 90% are either complete or are progressing and those projects represent a leverage ratio of 6:1 (total project cost compared to state awards).

A few projects that have made significant progress are Warwick Valley Wine Co., KAS Spirits, LLC, and the Spark Media Project. Warwick Valley Wine Co. Inc. was awarded $160,000 in ESD Capital Grant Funds and $169,000 in Excelsior Tax Credits in 2015 to expand its hard cider, gin and bourbon production by adding a bottling line to its Black Dirt Distillery in Pine Island, Orange County. In addition, the funding would assist Warwick Valley Wine Co. to increase agritourism by purchasing a tour bus to bring more visitors to its facilities. Having recently completed the purchase and installation of the equipment - a $1.64 million project – the company has already hired 3 new jobs towards its 10 job commitment. This project furthers the MHREDC’s PLAY strategy, as it contributes to the goal of positioning the Region as a premier tourist destination, promoting the food and beverage industry.

KAS Spirits, LLC of Mahopac, Putnam County was awarded $5,000 in ESD Capital Grant Funds in 2016 to increase production of KAS KRUPNIKAS, a spiced

honey liquor, with the purchase of new equipment. This $25,000 project has already begun, as some machinery has already been purchased. Once installed, the company will hire 1 production, sales and office staff person to assist with the anticipated increased sales. This project also furthers the MHREDC’s PLAY strategy, as it contributes to the goal of positioning the Region as a premier tourist destination, promoting the food and beverage industry.

The Spark Media Project was awarded $35,091 by NYS

Council on the Arts’ Arts, Culture and Heritage New Initiatives funding in 2015 for its Digital Workforce Library Lab. The $111,756 project focuses on workforce skills development through media and production education in four public libraries located in areas of pressing economic need within the Mid-Hudson Library System. This now complete project has allowed for Mobile Media Lab workshops to take place and educate students in Ulster and Dutchess counties.

IMPLEMENTATION OF 2017 STATE PRIORITIES IMPLEMENTATION OF STRATEGIES THROUGH THE PROJECT PIPELINEIn 2017, The Mid-Hudson Regional Economic Development Council continued to monitor the progress of signature projects and initiatives supported in prior years, while simultaneously refining our economic development strategy to best leverage our Region’s unique assets and opportunities. The MHREDC continues to implement the theme of 2017, FUTURE FORWARD, Progress with Purpose, driving economic growth in recommending and assisting projects that implement the various Regional and State initiatives developed. The MHREDC continues to believe that New York State will drive economic growth in the Region by making investments that enforce the Regional LIVE, WORK and PLAY strategies as well as complementing four interconnecting strategies Placemaking, Workforce, Tradeable Sectors, and Innovation.

LIVE

An initiative that seeks to revitalize the Region’s many river,

hilltop and cross-roads urban centers, encouraging smart growth,

transit oriented development, downtown revitalization and

infrastructure improvements in order to stimulate job creation

and prevent youth flight.

WORK

An industry-based initiative that seeks to attract and retain quality jobs in the Region’s mature and

emerging clusters including biotech, advanced and high-tech

manufacturing, information technology, financial and professional

services, and distribution, and to match them with the Mid-Hudson’s

highly educated workforce.

PLAY

An initiative that seeks to position the Region as a

premier tourist location based on its scenic beauty, local

agriculture, food and beverage industry, arts, culture, history,

and recreational assets, as well as its proximity to

New York City.

IMPLEMENTATION OF 2017 STATE PRIORITIES IMPLEMENTATION OF STRATEGIES THROUGH THE PROJECT PIPELINEIn 2017, The Mid-Hudson Regional Economic Development Council continued to monitor the progress of signature projects and initiatives supported in prior years, while simultaneously refining our economic development strategy to best leverage our Region’s unique assets and opportunities. The MHREDC continues to implement the theme of 2017, FUTURE FORWARD, Progress with Purpose, driving economic growth in recommending and assisting projects that implement the various Regional and State initiatives developed. The MHREDC continues to believe that New York State will drive economic growth in the Region by making investments that enforce the Regional LIVE, WORK and PLAY strategies as well as complementing four interconnecting strategies Placemaking, Workforce, Tradeable Sectors, and Innovation.

The MHREDC Strategies of LIVE, WORK, and PLAY continue to be the basis for identifying projects that will further the economic growth of the Region. The four interconnecting State strategies compliment and enhance the efforts of the MHREDC over the past year. Placemaking, the notion that where investment occurs matters, continues to be a cornerstone of success for the various projects within the LIVE strategy. The MHREDC believes that to attract a talented workforce, our built environment must emphasize creating accessible job centers, sustainable infrastructure and livable communities.

Over the past six rounds of the CFA competition, the Council has funded 30 “LIVE” Priority Projects and many other strategy aligned CFAs (see Part 2, page 18 for more information). The Council closely monitors the progress of these projects, and below are a few status updates on projects funded through Rounds I-VI.

SMART GROWTH/TRANSIT ORIENTED DEVELOPMENT

Hudson River Housing was awarded $850,000 in 2014 for a roughly $5.2 million project to undertake the adaptive reuse of the historic Poughkeepsie Underwear Factory in the City of Poughkeepsie. The NYS Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation also awarded the restoration portion of this project $500,000 in 2014. The building’s grand opening was held in March 2017, showcasing the now vibrant, sustainable community hub including commercial space and workforce housing that was once an underutilized treasure. Hudson River Housing has committed to create 16 jobs, and has already created 2.

DOWNTOWN REVITALIZATION

The City of Middletown, the Mid-Hudson Region’s Downtown Revitalization Initiative (DRI) Round 1 winner has broke ground on the Woolworth Building Project in August of 2017; the first project to be funded by Middletown’s $10 million state Downtown Revitalization Initiative award. The Woolworth’s site is among a smattering of vacant storefronts on North and Main streets that have contributed to a feeling of blight in the city’s downtown. The site, owned by the City of Middletown and vacant for more than 20 years, is being transformed into the Rail Trail Commons. The center of the revitalized building would become a covered corridor that would ultimately connect the downtown spur of the city’s Heritage Trail with the future Erie Way Park. The reconfigured building would feature retail space along North Street, as well as interior retail space fronting the Heritage Trail. The building will include space for four retail tenants chosen through an incentive grant program (“Race for Space”), developed as part of Middletown’s DRI Plan. Adjacent parking areas will be improved and landscaped and where appropriate connected to the Heritage Trail.

THE ROAD TO SUCCESS IS ALWAYS UNDER CONSTRUCTION.“ ”

INFRASTRUCTURE

The New NY Bridge Project to replace the 3.1-mile Tappan Zee Bridge with a state of the art twin span crossing continues to make remarkable progress on the Hudson River. The first span of the Governor Mario M. Cuomo Bridge opened to traffic in late August 2017. The project remains on target and is scheduled to fully open to traffic in 2018 at a total cost of $3.98 billion. The economic impact of the project is being felt around the State and around the Mid-Hudson Region. There are more than 764 New York state companies involved (1,780 overall) – 219 based in Westchester and 97 based in Rockland. Design-builder Tappan Zee Constructors, LLC (TZC) has pumped $2.37 billion into the economy to date (checks sent or signed contract commitments) and more then 6,300 people have worked on the project so far. During the Fall/Winter of 2017 the final steel will be installed on the eastbound span and the demolition of the Tappan Zee Bridge will begin.

The Dutchess County Water and Wastewater Authority was awarded $1 million in 2013 to undertake an extension of municipal water service to the Dutchess County Airport, Business Park and Economic Opportunity Corridor in the Town of Wappinger, Dutchess County. Having recently completed phase one of the project, phase two will likely take place in 2018. Once complete, this $6.8 million project will give adjacent businesses the opportunity to abandon failing water systems by connecting to this water main extension and fully utilize existing buildings as well as expand their operations. This project furthers the MHREDC’s LIVE strategy, as it contributes to the goal of revitalizing the Region’s urban centers though infrastructure improvements to stimulate job creation.

Outside of the CFA process, the Region has made strides to implement the LIVE strategy. A few projects/initiatives to note are as follows:

• Metro North, in coordination with the City of Poughkeepsie, Dutchess County and regional planning groups, have issued a Request For Expressions of Interest to developers for mixed-use project ideas surrounding the Amtrak and Metro North station.

• The City of Beacon has finalized new zoning codes designed to advance and expand place-making and active use development around the very busy waterfront station.

• Sustainable Hudson Valley has collaborated with NYSERDA in a Drive Electric Hudson Valley pilot program which helped 142 people to purchase or lease electric vehicles through a coordinated program of consumer and dealer education, doubling the initial expectation of 65 participants.

The MHREDC will continue to focus on the many unique and diverse urban centers spread across the seven county Mid-Hudson Region, encouraging smart growth, downtown revitalization, and infrastructure improvements, with the goal of stimulating job growth and preventing youth flight.

The workforce of the Mid-Hudson truly drives the Regional economy. Targeted job training and education ensures that jobs in the WORK strategy, (high-paying, in-demand, tradable sectors) are filled in an equitable way. Tradable Sectors, industries New York State is targeting to increase export based employment opportunities, are industry sectors that are part of a global market like advanced manufacturing, and information technology, distribution and biotech.

A Regional and State strategy that is implemented across all aspects of MHREDC evaluation of projects is Innovation. The MHREDC looks to identify projects that creating synergies between research and commercialization to drive the economy forward.

Over the past six rounds of the CFA competition, the Council has funded 31 “WORK” Priority Projects and many other strategy-aligned CFAs (see Part 2, page 19 for more information). The Council closely monitors the progress of these projects, and below are a few status updates on projects funded through Rounds I-VI.

BIOTECH

BioInc@New York Medical College (NYMC), named the Mid-Hudson’s Innovation Hot Spot in 2014, was twice named a Regional Priority Project and received Regional Council funds in 2011 and 2012 to build out a biotechnology incubator that offers shared resources, turn-key wet lab space, and sponsored professional services to promising, high potential entrepreneurs and start-ups. BioInc@NYMC currently leases its biotech facilities to 10 entrepreneur client-firms serving as a nexus for consultation between researchers that is vital to innovation.

ADVANCED MANUFACTURING AND HIGH-TECH MANUFACTURING

The Solar Energy Consortium (TSEC) is a non-profit of executives, scientists and engineers that works with over 100 industry and university partners to provide access to specialized equipment and promote highly skilled manufacturing jobs. Awarded in three rounds of the Regional Economic Development Council Process, TSEC has established SMARTT Labs and SMARRT Pods through the purchase and installation of machinery and equipment at colleges, incubators and businesses across all sectors in the Mid-Hudson Region. In 2012 the organization was awarded $1 million for a $3.48 million Priority Project, in 2014 the organization was awarded $1 million for a $5 million project, and in 2015 the organization was awarded $700,000 for a $3.5 million Priority Project. One example of a SMARTT Lab is Rockland Community College’s 3D Printing Haverstraw Center, which offers manufacturers a proof-of-concept center where they can evaluate, customize and expedite prototypes in a sandbox environment, free of charge. TSEC continues to identify ways in which the SMARTT Labs and Pods can assist manufacturers and educators across many sectors and the Region.

HEALTHCARE

Vassar Brothers Medical Center (VBMC) is replacing and modernizing significant portions of its existing campus located in the City of Poughkeepsie. This includes the renovation of 13,800 square feet in the existing hospital, and construction of a 696,440 square feet bed tower. This new construction will replace all existing semi-private medical/surgical rooms with 264 private rooms, 30 ICU rooms, a new and expanded ER Department, and replacement of most of the existing operating rooms and interventional suites. VBMC will also expand and modernize the existing central plant, add conference/educational space, and improve amenities that will enhance the physician, visitor and employee experience. This massive construction project is underway in the City of Poughkeepsie, with significant progress being made every day. There are hundreds of construction jobs on site, creating opportunities for many in the Region. Once completed this transformational project will allow enhanced care for residents looking for high quality healthcare; as well as create several high paying professional positions.

Investments in the PLAY strategy are encouraging development of the Mid-Hudson Region as a whole, while also having a focus on our downtowns. New pedestrian and bicycle trails, park amenities, and improvements to transportation, clean energy, and water infrastructure are making our cities better and more resilient places to live and play. This “smart growth” theme extends into the countryside, as well, with our urban and community centers increasingly surrounded by protected working farms and scenic parks that are helping to drive the region’s robust farm to table and tourism economies. All of this adds up to make the Mid-Hudson Region being one of the country’s best collections of places to LIVE, WORK, and PLAY.

Over the past six rounds of the CFA competition, the Council has funded 28 “PLAY” Priority Projects and many other strategy aligned CFAs (see Part 2, page 20 for more information). The Council closely monitors the progress of these projects, and below are a few status updates on projects funded through Rounds I-VI.

PREMIER TOURIST LOCATION

LEGOLAND New York: (Merlin Entertainments, as project sponsor), proposes to construct LEGOLAND New York, a theme park and resort, on approximately 153 acres of a 524 acre site located off Harriman Drive in the Town of Goshen. The park will include rides and attractions, an aquarium, theaters, educational facilities, restaurants, a hotel and various back of the house facilities. Educational facilities and programs are also included to attract strong school visitation. LEGOLAND New York has been named a Priority Project by the MHREDC in 2014, 2015 and again in 2016. This project will represent a $350 million investment continuing to position the Region as a premier tourist destination. LEGOLAND New York has made significant progress over the previous year, including completing SEQR, and obtaining various Town approvals necessary to construct the theme park. Merlin Entertainments anticipates the park opening in late 2019.

SCENIC BEAUTY & LOCAL AGRICULTURE

The Governor’s $20 million Hudson Valley Agricultural Enhancement fund has conserved 5,600 acres of active farmland on 28 farms across seven counties, many of which supply local restaurants popular among tourists, farm markets, and NYC’s green market initiative. The Hudson Valley Agricultural Enhancement Fund will truly enhance the Mid-Hudson’s PLAY strategy.

The Hudson Highlands Fjord Trail is coming to life – the “Breakneck Connector,” connecting the Breakneck Trailhead and Breakneck Metro-North Train Stop, is fully designed and out to bid for construction anticipated to begin this November. The Washburn parking lot has been constructed, and a visitor center established near Little Stoney Point. Taking this next step will enhance access and safety for half a million or more visitors annually. The project, highly leveraged by private donors, enjoys the support and cooperation of two counties, two towns, a city and a village, as well as many private organizations and citizens that stepped up to match investments by New York State.

The Mohonk Preserve Trapps Bridge Replacement Project in Gardiner, NY replaces a former 1930 bridge with a New York-fabricated steel pedestrian bridge with wooden decking, providing a critical link from Mohonk Preserve to Minnewaska State Park Preserve and the rest of the Shawangunk Ridge at the heart of the publicly accessible, 90-mile, multi-use recreational carriage road network. Leveraging $188,785 from the state’s Environmental Protection Program, and an additional $340,000 from NYS DOT, the project was matched with $304,560 in federal and $566,665 in private funds, creating 33 construction phase jobs.

Inspired by 30 years of the Hudson River Valley Greenway’s pursuit of its vision, and decades of grass-roots efforts, the Mid-Hudson Region is making great strides in building out local and regional connections that will complement the Empire State Trail, which will link New York City with key tourist attractions and recreational opportunities throughout the Hudson Valley and in upstate New York.

FOOD & BEVERAGE

The Hudson Valley Agricultural Development Corporation’s Farm and Food Business Accelerator kicked off its inaugural year with an intensive mentoring and training program for the Region’s farmers and food entrepreneurs seeking to scale their business, gain access to capital and build sales. New York State’s statewide Farmland Protection Program will also be matched by public investments from Dutchess and Ulster Counties.

The enhancement and expansion of the Hudson Valley Food Hub in the town of Ulster has made it possible for this co-packing and processing facility to serve more local farms and retail outlets, while breathing life into an obsolete former IBM facility and bringing jobs to the region.

Warwick Valley Wine Co. Inc. was awarded $160,000 in ESD Capital Grant Funds and $169,000 in Excelsior Tax Credits in 2015 to expand its hard cider, gin and bourbon production by adding a bottling line to its Black Dirt Distillery in Pine Island, Orange County and increase agritourism by purchasing a tour bus to bring more visitors to its facilities. Having recently completed the purchase and installation of the equipment - a $1.64 million project – the company has already hired 3 new jobs towards its 10 job commitment. This project furthers the MHREDC’s PLAY strategy, as it contributes to the goal of positioning the Region as a premier tourist destination, promoting the food and beverage industry.

ARTS, CULTURE, HISTORY AND RECREATIONAL ASSETS

The Hudson River Sloop Clearwater completed renovation of its bulkhead last year using CFA funds, and increased its voyages by nearly 60 percent in the current season. Ticket sales have increased dramatically, and this heritage vessel was able to have a presence at major river festivals over the summer and continue its role as a major regional attraction.

The National Trust for Historic Preservation’s Lyndhurst site has partnered with Historic Hudson Valley and Westchester County to restore and make accessible a 20-acre historic landscape between Washington Irving’s Sunnyside and Lyndhurst. This wooded riverfront area can become lower Westchester’s Central Park on the Hudson, as trails, historic sites and bucolic landscapes serve a growing number of visitors with the opening of the Governor Mario M. Cuomo Bridge shared use path.

IMPLEMENTATION AGENDA FOR A LIFE SCIENCES INDUSTRY CLUSTER

The Mid-Hudson has the ability to host a world-class life sciences industry cluster with the institutional and intellectual assets found in the Region. A tri-region effort, which last year brought together Long Island, New York City and Mid-Hudson, has begun to create a powerful research corridor by harnessing regional leadership, research institutions and life science companies. The vision is that “three is stronger than one” when it comes to attracting venture capital, attracting federal research dollars, collaborating on research and technology commercialization and supporting a biotech cluster in downstate New York. This fledgling initiative has moved quickly from an idea to an invitation for participation by research leaders and companies like Regeneron in Westchester, Alexandria Center for Life Science and BioBat at the Brooklyn Army Terminal, and Stony Brook University, Cold Spring Harbor Labs, The Feinstein Institute and Brookhaven Labs.

Life sciences generates $337 billion (about 2 percent) of the nation’s economic output, making the U.S. the dominant player in the global life sciences industry. Future growth will be propelled by continued investment in the field; in 2016, U.S. life sciences companies attracted over $9 billion in venture capital and created 27,000 jobs.

Given the economic promise of life sciences, the MHREDC is building on the convening power of the statewide REDC process to mobilize an inter-regional effort by collaborating with the New York City and Long Island regions to establish and promote a cluster that spans the state.

TABLE 11 / IMPLEMENTATION OF LIFE SCIENCE INDUSTRY CLUSTER

IMPLEMENTATION OF A WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT STRATEGY “Closing the Skills Gap”

In 2016, the MHREDC Workforce Development Work Group streamlined their efforts and combined the Workforce Development Work Group and the Veteran’s Group to ensure that we are holistic in our approach to training and providing employers access to all available workers.

The Workforce Work Group works with industry and educational partners across the Region to implement a comprehensive strategy that will train the workforce of today and tomorrow all while working to close the skills gap identified in the Region. The MHREDC is committed to supporting workforce development with the Region by identifying and promoting projects that provide effective training in priority areas, and by building partnerships at the community and regional level.

This year the work group was closely aligned with the efforts of the Hudson Valley Educational Consortium (HVEC). The HVEC is a collaborative effort among SUNY Dutchess, Orange, Rockland, Sullivan, Ulster, and Westchester Community Colleges to create broader access to academic programs and workforce training throughout New York’s Hudson Valley. The work group’s work focused on a study done by the HVEC which outlined the economy of the Region and provided a gap analysis highlighting the workforce trends. The study then compared the trends with the offerings of the HVEC members and other training organizations. A few results of the HVEC gap analysis can be found below.

GRAPH 3 / TOP CERTIFICATE LEVEL GAPS GRAPH 4 / TOP ASSOCIATE DEGREE LEVEL GAPS

In addition to our close partnership with the HVEC, the work group brought together the Workforce Investment Boards, SMARTT Labs, Department of Labor and major employers to discuss ways in which its work can complement theirs without duplication of service. This total collaboration is allowing us to strategically plan to ensure that the workforce needed today, and in the future, is readily available for Hudson Valley businesses to thrive. Additional focus is being done to share this information with high schools and technical centers so that they are better informed to direct students to careers and training which will allow them to find good jobs in our Region.

The Council of Industry (COI), a partner of the MHREDC Workforce Work Group, has provided management training for manufacturers for more than fifty years. The Council of Industry has been the manufacturer’s association for the Hudson Valley since 1910 with the mission of promoting the success of their member firms and their employees, and through them contribute to the success of the Hudson Valley Community. They continually improve the content and the direction of their training by keeping close contact with the needs of their members.

There are currently two workforce initiatives the COI is administering that continue the efforts of the MHREDC Workforce Work Group. The first is the New York Manufacturing Alliance Apprentice Program (NYSMAAP). The New York State Manufacturers Alliance - of which the Council of Industry is a founding member - has been successful in obtaining funds in the State Budget for the creation of a New York State Manufacturers Alliance Apprenticeship Program. Administered in the Hudson Valley by the Council of Industry NYSMAAP will be an employer-led public-private pilot program for registered apprentices in manufacturing occupations.

This apprenticeship has two basic elements. The first, On-the-Job Training (OJT), consists of a “master,” or “journey-level,” craft person capable and willing to share their experience with a “novice,” or “apprentice,” in a hands-on manner. The second, Related Instruction (RI), consists of learning more theoretical or knowledge-based aspects of a craft. Registered apprenticeship programs are typically three to four years in duration and the NYSMAAP programs are expected to be of similar duration.

The Alliance has been working with NYS Department of Labor since 2013 to obtain approval to function as a single “program sponsor” acting on behalf of small and medium sized manufacturers. This will dramatically reduce the administrative burden on individual manufacturers and greatly streamline apprenticeship program registration. This design allows small and medium sized manufacturers to offer registered apprenticeship programs through the Alliance and the Council of Industry eliminating the need for each manufacturer to go through the often lengthy and complicated registration process on its own.

This Hudson Valley pilot program will focus on 3 to 5 of the most needed job titles in manufacturing as determined by the Council’s Workforce Development Work Group.

The second workforce initiative is Go Make it, the manufacturing careers platform, designed to help students, parents, and teachers explore the world of advanced manufacturing, and to find the information they need to pursue careers in this exciting industry. The project was born from the local manufacturers’ need to show people how different manufacturing plants of the 21st century are from what they might expect - not a laborious, repetitive job on a production line, but a place where highly skilled experts use cutting edge technology to craft quality parts and products. It is a collaboration between public (governmental) organizations and private industry, and has been carefully crafted to give a fair and helpful representation of what a manufacturing career might look like, so that young people might see the potential for a challenging and rewarding career. After all, they are the future of this industry, and hopefully they’ll see that this industry is the future of innovation in America.

Manufacturing isn’t what it used to be. In high-tech manufacturing facilities in the Hudson Valley and across the country, people are developing the technical innovations that will solve the global problems of tomorrow. From 3D printing, to craft breweries and distilleries, to artificially intelligent robotics, manufacturing is a diverse world that offers something for everyone. In advanced manufacturing, an exciting career right here in the Hudson Valley, or beyond. The opportunities are endless.

Manufacturers across the country are desperate for young men and women with STEM skills, to work with computers much more than their hands. In an era of 3D printing, robotic assembly, and sophisticated, computer-controlled machining, there is a well-paid career opportunity, with comprehensive benefits, for anyone with the technical skills to design, program, and operate these machines. Plus, there is an ecosystem of leadership, promotion, and operational roles in every company, offering all the same perks and an exciting world to be a part of.

The MHREDC Workforce Development Work Group will continue to work with the Council of Industry to ensure the success of these important initiatives to ensure the training of the workforce of today and tomorrow.

IMPLEMENTATION OF ONGOING INITIATIVESREGIONAL ECONOMIC CLUSTER PLANTHE FOOD & BEVERAGE MANUFACTURING SUPPLY CHAINIn 2015, the MHREDC was asked to define a manufacturing-based industry cluster for the purpose of the NYSTAR’s Manufacturing Extension Program (MEP). The Council’s Industry Cluster Work Group took stock of the Region’s existing assets and strategies; analyzed industry trend data on average annual employment, wages, and number of establishments; and ultimately selected a cluster it refers to as the “Food and Beverage Manufacturing Supply Chain.”

The cluster, as defined by the MHREDC, includes the interrelated sub-industries of food and beverage manufacturing, processing and equipment. These industries share distribution channels and customers; manufacture complementary products; and are related by skills, technologies, specialized machinery/infrastructure, and other common inputs. The Council felt it appropriate to link them all together under one relatively broadly defined cluster which supports the Region’s broader strategies of WORK & PLAY.

This cluster plays to existing Regional strengths and established MHREDC priorities. The Council has previously identified both high-tech manufacturing and the food and beverage industry as priorities for investment.

The Mid-Hudson Region boasts many well-known industry names like PepsiCo, Dannon and Heineken alongside dozens of other successful and growing industry players like Best Mexican, Gillette Creamery, Harney & Son’s Tea, Sabra Dipping, Captain Lawrence Brewing Co., Satin Fine Foods and Manhattan Beer Distributors.

The food and farm economy of the Mid-Hudson Region is harvesting its bounty by leveraging its direct access to NYC consumers and strong local interest in fresh food. Development of craft beverage products and new markets is complemented by developing the professional skills of farm and food managers, and secured through a robust public and private commitment to farmland protection efforts at the state and local level. Access to fresh, local healthy food continues to make the Region a great place to live, while farms also help to support a strong local tax base.

The food and farm economy of the Mid-Hudson Region has significant opportunities to expand food storage, distribution and processing facilities. Interest in capitalizing on the craft food and beverage trend remains strong and there is a growing interest by farmers to plant hops and grain – reported as being of low cost to produce while providing a high profit-margin - and support this industry. Training the agricultural workforce remains important as farm managers address the complicated web of market forces and regulation in their industry.

The Mid Hudson Regional Council continues to provide support to its identified opportunity areas. This year saw a special emphasis placed on the issue of infrastructure. Through a grant provided by the State of New York, Hudson Valley Pattern for Progress completed a Regional study of infrastructure “Got a Spare Billion?” that emphasized seven of the Opportunity Areas; these included: The Village of Brewster, the City of Kingston, the Village of Monticello, the City of Mount Vernon, the City of Newburgh, the City of Peekskill and the City of Poughkeepsie.

Each community received an assessment or “snapshot” of their key infrastructure issues plus a series of recommendations. In Brewster, building on the $2 million 2016 ESD Capital Grant Fund Priority Project for a Transit Oriented Development (TOD) revitalization project, the discussion focused on trains and commuters being the key to growth. History and waterfront improvements were the City of Kingston’s key focus, along with sewer and bridge replacements. The Village of Monticello emphasized its need to improve its water system, though complicated by the large growth in its summer population. The City of Mount Vernon focused on finding new sources of revenue for the priority projects identified by the City leadership. The highest priority for the City of Newburgh was improving its severely compromised water system. The assessment showed an investment in the City of Peekskill’s deep history would help its rebirth but not surprisingly they also identified the need to sustain their aging water and sewer systems, and in the City of Poughkeepsie once again upgrading old water and sewer systems was a top priority.

BREWSTER: TRAINS AND COMMUTERS

KEY FOR GROWTH

Water and sewer upgrades, now underway, are setting the stage for new residential units, retail and office space and parking adjacent to the heavily used train station. Recently, the Village announced and credited Pattern for Progress for being among the advisors helping to advance a new vision for the downtown, which ultimately led to a $2 million CFA award to fund a significant Transit-Oriented Development (TOD) project. It now seeks $10 million to $20 million in infrastructure costs to support the initiative. The project would transform the Village of Brewster. Securing the funding for the necessary infrastructure will be a challenge.

It was once New York’s capital. The City is now enjoying a renaissance due to new investment -- restaurants, shops, attractions and nightlife, especially along its historic waterfront. The City’s waterfront-development plan is long overdue for an update and will need to incorporate the recent renaissance. Infrastructure to support these efforts is critical.KINGSTON:

HISTORY, WATERFRONT ARE SPRINGBOARDS FOR

FUTURE

In 2013, Governor Andrew M. Cuomo charged the Regional Economic Development Councils to focus on economically distressed communities by way of the Opportunity Agenda. The Mid-Hudson Regional Economic Development Council (MHREDC) incorporated twin goals into its initial five-year plan: (1) moving impoverished individuals throughout the Region into jobs that can sustain them and their families, and (2) revitalizing distressed communities.

Since 2013, the MHREDC has identified the following 11 Opportunity Area communities:

1. Village of Brewster

2. City of Peekskill

3. City of Poughkeepsie

4. City of Newburgh

5. City of Middletown (DRI Round I Winner)

6. Village of Kaser

MONTICELLO: WATER NEEDS,

POPULATION VARIATIONS STRAIN BUDGETS

The small village of Monticello once thrived as part of The Catskills, America’s vacationland. Now, Monticello – with significantly reduced revenues and ever-growing needs – requires help to rebuild its water systems, roads and ability to consistently serve residents. Concerns grow during the summer when Monticello’s population vastly increases. The Village government raised concerns about its capacity to plan and ability to obtain grants and loans to repair, replace and upgrade the infrastructure. Ideas for rehabilitating Broadway abound and the advent of a new casino nearby should help.

The municipal leadership in the City of Mount Vernon has an optimistic vision for its future. The City understands the demands for additional housing, commercial and retail space; however, leaders also recognize the foundation to support the need is based on infrastructure. Like many urban centers, Mount Vernon requires substantial upgrades of the water and sewer systems and improvements in the surface transportation system. The City is working on this vision by creating a methodical system to obtain financing and synchronizing efforts internally, while simultaneously ensuring safety for residents and businesses.

The city along the Hudson River is facing significant water-quality issues and major surface-transportation challenges. The redevelopment of the waterfront represents positive momentum and needs to continue, expand and connect to the new investment and energy of lower Broadway, SUNY Orange and the Liberty Street Corridor. Methodical planning followed by additional investments through the creation of public and private partnerships investment are critical to restoring the city. Pattern’s Center for Housing Solutions and Urban Initiatives is playing a key role in coordinating and partnering with planning staff, businesses and nonprofits to establish a Creative Neighborhood. The neighborhood seeks to attract and retain residents and businesses in the most challenged areas of the city. It seeks to also bridge connectivity with the thriving waterfront.

MOUNT VERNON: MANY NEEDS AND

FINDING MONEY TO FIX THEM

CITY OF NEWBURGH: MANY STEPS UNDERWAY,

CONTINUE EFFORTS

CITY OF PEEKSKILL: HISTORY SETS THE STAGE

FOR THE FUTURE

A destination for commuters who swarm into the Metro-North train station, Peekskill has challenges serving its residents and the business community. The city’s water- and sewer-system infrastructure is in desperate need of major upgrades. The roads are in poor condition and there is a high demand for additional parking. Peekskill has great amenities and a strong foundation to build upon, including the Metro-North train station, an artists’ district and a waterfront ripe for additional development. The city’s Main Street has already attracted new investment with additional development on the horizon.

Bursts of development from new restaurants to the presence of the popular tourist destination the Walkway Over the Hudson have Poughkeepsie primed for continued rebirth. The massive budget deficit, ongoing water-safety issues and perceptions of danger are all major concerns as the city looks to improve. A new mayor with extensive legislative experience and ability to envision a future, along with a firm strategic plan, hold promise. Rethinking its transportation network is critical. Recent infrastructure grants will help.

CITY OF POUGHKEEPSIE: PROBLEMS, POTENTIAL

AND A VISION FOR MOVING FORWARD

Collectively themes emerged. Old Hudson Valley cities, where the Opportunity areas exist, require significant investment in the aging infrastructure especially water and sewer. While the cities have departments to focus on rebuilding, they do not always have capacity to plan for the current and future needs. The MHREDC will work with the Opportunity Areas to identify Federal and or State programs targeted to build capacity for these municipalities, insuring the municipalities awarded funds previously or in the future have the capacity to execute these contracts. If no such programs are available, one could be proposed. A separate issue arose regarding funding for infrastructure projects. The infrastructure projects the communities must undertake to maintain the communities’ assets are very expensive, and many projects receive partial funding but not necessarily full funding, which results in badly needed repairs languishing. This issue will continue to be monitored and addressed with all Opportunity Agenda areas.

The Opportunity Areas of the Mid-Hudson Region continue to see progress in many statistical areas, however in order to sustain the progress being made, keep up with decaying infrastructure, ensure employment opportunities at all levels and encourage millennials to LIVE, WORK and PLAY in their communities, our work is far from done.


TABLE 14 / IMPLEMENTATION OF OPPORTUNITY AGENDA AND DOWNTOWN REVITALIZATION


Urban Action Agenda (UAA) Overall Program Initiative

This effort continues to help revitalize urban areas in 23 municipalities located in all 7 MHREDC counties, which also include 10 of the 11 Opportunity Areas. The UAA focuses on 11 topical areas including 1. Demographic Shifts, 2. Economic Development, 3. Education, 4. Housing, 5. Infrastructure, 6. Local and Regional Governance, 7. Public Health, 8. Public Safety, 9. Regional Amenities, 10. Sustainability and 11. Transportation.

The first summary report on the Urban Action Agenda was issued in January 2017.

UAA Community Profiles of Opportunity Agenda

Community Profiles have been completed for 10 of the 11 Opportunity Areas. Identified the 5 most critical demographic and statistical data sets:1. Population changes2. Housing value and tenure3. Shifts of income and poverty4. Educational outcomes and enrollment 5. Economic Development and Employment

Funding has been provided to update the Community Profiles. Focus groups are in progress to insure the profiles meet the needs of the end users.

Opportunity Agenda/ Urban Action Agenda Site Visits

In 2016, Pattern staff completed site visits in 10 of the 11 Opportunity areas to determine priorities and how best to assist the urban center. Site visits included meetings with the Chief elected official, municipal department heads, education leaders and community groups.

As part of Patterns work on the Opportunity Areas, 7 of the communities have had site visits related to infrastructure. As part of other initiatives and projects, Pattern has visited 11 of the remaining 16 communities.

UAA Infrastructure Review Progress for investigating and evaluating Infrastructure needs continues in 6 of the 11 Opportunity Areas. Interviews conducted to determine priority needs in infrastructure by Pattern staff.

Pattern issued the regional examination of the state of infrastructure, providing specific details for 7 of the Opportunity Areas.

UAA Housing Pattern completed an affordability and zoning analysis in 6 of the 11 Opportunity Areas at the end of 2015.

Pattern will be creating 19 Housing Profiles by 2019, which includes 8 Opportunity Areas.

Mayor's Roundtable (PACE Land Use Law Center)

For the past 4 – 5 years, PACE Land Use Law Center has convened Mayors and staff from throughout the Hudson Valley to discuss issues of common importance focusing mainly on land use, zoning and planning. The Mayors from the 4 Westchester County Opportunity Areas and the Village of Brewster are regular attendees.

PACE seeks funding to continue this roundtable in the year to come.

Mid-Hudson Mayor's Forum (Pattern) To supplement PACE’s efforts, Pattern convenes a quarterly meeting for Mayors of cities north of Westchester. Topics are chosen by each host city to avoid duplication with PACE’s efforts. This initiative captures 3 more of the 11 Opportunity Areas.

Pattern held quarterly meetings in Beacon, Poughkeepsie and Kingston.

Successfully complete the projects initiated in Peekskill and Brewster.

Two classes, one about entrepreneurship taught in English and Spanish and a contextualized ESL class that provides basic job skills training were created.

The initial project, or class offerings have been completed. The Opportunity Agenda committee will now look to identify future offerings based on outcomes of these initial projects.

Incorporate a class of communities into the Opportunity Agenda to include at least one community from each county.

The MHREDC opened up the Opportunity Agenda Community status to additional applicants and expanded the program to include the cities of Kingston, Poughkeepsie, Newburgh, Middletown, Mount Vernon, New Rochelle and Yonkers and the Villages of Monticello and Kaser.

The MHREDC would like to continue to facilitate discussions among the Opportunity Agenda Communities to share best practices and to inform future strategic planning. (Ongoing)

IMPLEMENTATION OF THE VETERANS INITIATIVE

The Mid-Hudson Region has adopted a holistic approach for its outreach efforts to our veteran’s community. We believed it was imperative to gain the trust and confidence of our veterans and to instill a real belief that the business community was an ally. Toward this end, our County Chambers of Commerce have distinguished themselves in their commitment to both veterans and active duty military.

For example, there is a universal participation in the Return the F.A.V.O.R. (or similar) program that, at a very basic level, provides discounts for goods and services throughout our business communities. The Orange County Chamber of Commerce and the Dutchess County Regional Chamber of Commerce are a major part of Military Appreciation Day at Stewart ANG. They ensure that the business community picks up the tab for a picnic for over 6,000 active duty personnel and their families.

The Dutchess Chamber also partners with the County in the Hire a Veteran campaign that encourages giving a “first look” at vets for positions opening up to the public. The Putnam County Chamber of Commerce partners with the County’s Veteran’s Service Agency to advance legislative and workforce issues beneficial to veterans and the Orange County Chamber has a seat on that county’s Veteran’s Task Force.

The Rockland Business Association is continuing its $1,000 scholarship initiative for post-9/11 veterans qualifying for the County’s Leadership Program. And, this year the group is working with The Military Order of the Purple Heart to raise awareness and funds for the Gulf War - Afghanistan - Iraq War on Terrorism Monument/Memorial to be erected in Haverstraw Memorial Park. And, the Dutchess Chamber has partnered with Central Hudson Gas & Electric Corp. to bring the Vietnam Traveling Wall to the Hudson Valley.

These activities contribute greatly to meaningful relationships between our veterans and our businesses. Veterans are encouraged to pursue positions with our region’s businesses and employers are encouraged to embrace this, as well as make major commitments to veteran-hires if they are filing Consolidated Funding Applications.

The Hyde Park Downtown Infrastructure Project builds on current community-based planning and investment in Hyde Park’s commercial district to introduce an essential element for growth: wastewater infrastructure. This downtown revitalization project includes the building of a sewage treatment plant, sewage pump, and sewage collection in the downtown section of Hyde Park. The commercial area, located between the FDR Home and Library and the Vanderbilt National Historic Site, is currently only served by individual septic systems, which do not allow for the intensity or density needed for the town and businesses to flourish. Because Hyde Park developed in a typical suburban sprawl pattern, the town lacks the character and walkability that would allow businesses to thrive. However, the town is well on its way to meeting its vision of becoming a walkable, 21st century, environmentally sustainable community, offering a mixed-use commercial hub desirable to young people, families and elders to live, as well as a more attractive environment for business and tourism. In addition to sewer infrastructure, Hyde Park will add new ADA-compliant sidewalk systems to enhance the walkability of the downtown. With 500,000+ visitors per year who come to Hyde Park to experience the Culinary Institute of America and federal and state historic sites, a revitalized Hyde Park downtown has the potential to be a major regional economic resource.

The project is a multi-phased repair and enhancement of the 24 year old Dutchess Stadium. The Stadium is the home of the minor league Hudson Valley Renegades (HVR), which employ hundreds of people directly and hundreds more indirectly. They support dozens of not-for-profits, attracted over 3 million fans to their games, and millions more to concerts, carnivals, car shows, and high school and college competitions. The Stadium also supports local vendors including craft breweries. The needs of the repairs/enhancements range from structural improvements to ensure it is sound and safe for visitors and to improve drainage; improving seating features; upgrading existing suites and expansion of two building to provide for more efficient operations and customer service. The parking lot is a mix of paved and unpaved surface. Paving all of the parking area will result in environmental benefits of an integrated stormwater system, consistent grading, and full stripped parking making navigation more understood and consistent. The addition of a boardwalk and fan experience area in the outfield will attract new visitors and fans and expand the use of the facility with an area for non-baseball events. The project will result in improved and enhanced customer experiences and improvements to the venue that will make operations more efficient and attract/retain visitors.

JM Development Group LLC, in partnership with the Kingston-based Herzog Supply Co., proposes a true mixed-use development project in the up-and-coming urban center of Uptown Kingston on the corner of Fair and North Front Streets. The approximately $48 million mixed-use development project will include the following elements: A Public-Access Pedestrian Plaza at the Front Street level of the project that will create open public space; 129 market-rate residential units (76 1br, 50 2br, 3 3br); a 475-space parking garage, with 250 spaces dedicated to the city’s use, addressing the dire lack of public parking that has emerged as an impediment to the area’s rapid development; 9,000 square feet of commercial space that will become a mix of restaurants and retail along Front Street and interior to the project accessible from the new Pedestrian Plaza; and a 38-room boutique hotel. This project will act as a cornerstone to the city’s historic Stockade District, complementing other area businesses and providing valuable parking spaces desperately needed in this growing section of the city. Additionally, this project will breathe new life at a site that was once home to the Kingstonian Hotel. In the process, this project creates infrastructure needed to support the influx of visitors resulting from the new commercial and residential ventures proposed for this adaptive re-use, as well as the growing numbers of City of Kingston residents who seek accessible public parking in order to enjoy the dynamic offerings of Uptown, the City of Kingston, and neighboring communities in Ulster County and beyond.

RUPCO and Stockade Works are creating a state-of-the-art Media, Arts, and Technology Center at The Metro in Midtown Kingston. This community hub will provide an immersive learning environment, connect media-makers and technologists, and attract quality jobs to the region. Based on models like the The Jacob Burns Film Center & Media Arts Lab, the space will serve incoming professionals and locals alike. A Key to Kingston’s Downtown Revitalization Initiative (DRI) strategy is promoting the redevelopment of vacant and distressed properties and removing blight and impediments to revitalization. The vacant Metro Building was named as a signature project for DRI funding. In June 2017, RUPCO acquired this downtown anchor, which includes the Metro Building and the Barmann Park which is maintained and operated by the city of Kingston. The property acquisition was part of Phase 1 of the project, which was identified by the Mid-Hudson REDC as a 2016 Priority Project.

The Hutton Brickyards Redevelopment Project is the first phase of a far-reaching effort to redevelop a significant portion of the City of Kingston’s long underutilized waterfront. This project would build upon North Street Brick Works’ successful efforts to reimagine this former industrial site as an entertainment and community market venue. In the last 2 years, the Brickyards has hosted Smorgasburg, a popular seasonal food and craft market, and more recently two sold out performances by music legend Bob Dylan. In order to fully develop the site and realize its untapped potential, plans are to significantly upgrade the property and renovate several 19th Century industrial structures to create a compelling waterfront destination suitable to host concerts, festivals, markets and private events on an ongoing basis. This $5.023 million project represents the first phase in a larger, transformative vision for Kingston’s waterfront, one that brings the promise of significant employment and economic revitalization to the city and the Mid-Hudson Region.

The Proposed Project is a $1,752,800 renovation and retrofit of 8,730 square feet of existing space in the fourth floor 4-Maze Nursing Unit of Nyack Hospital to create a 16-patient Transitional Care Unit (TCU). Room partitions will be reconfigured, a new fire sprinkler system will be added, and the HVAC system will be modified along with electrical and plumbing as needed. A dining room and country kitchen, as well as an activity room will be created in addition to the patient rooms. Patients would be discharged from the Hospital and admitted to the TCU. TCU beds will address the gap that exists for patients who still require skilled medical supervision as part of their recuperation and rehabilitation, but do not need to occupy high-cost hospital beds and yet still need a higher level of care than that provided by a nursing home. Length of stay would be not less than five days and not in excess of 21 days.There is actually low utilization of local nursing home beds indicating nursing homes simply cannot provide the care level available in a TCU. To provide more seamless patient services and to facilitate access to care, MOUs are in place between Nyack Hospital and St. John’s Hospital Nursing Home and Schaffer Extended Care Center regarding referral practices that will seamlessly link patients with the appropriate care levels they need.

Cambridge Security Seals (CSS) one of the leading manufacturers and suppliers of tamper evident, tamper resisant, and high-security loss prevention seals and allied products, has outgrown its current manufacturing and distribution facility located in Pomona. Through this project, CSS seeks to construct a 10,000 square foot addition to the existing facility on its current property which will enable the Company to construct an additional three production lines and support the equipment and infrastructure, as well as provide necessary warehouse space. The additional square footage will have the dual effect of expanding both CSS’s production capacity and its inventory capacity by providing a necessary separation of the manufacturing operation from the warehouse. Once completed, the project should result in providing the capacity for at least 50% growth of the Company, as well as the ability to export Made-In-New York products to customers around the world.

This proposal outlines a unique opportunity to enable transformative and life-saving advances in the treatment of previously incurable and devastating cancers. Recently, Japanese physicians reported dramatic results using “carbon heavy ion therapy” to treat patients with untreatable malignancies. Surprisingly this radiation not only attacked the tumors but also triggered an unexpected off-site response that greatly reduced metastases. We intend to build upon these preliminary observations to better understand the underlying mechanism(s) whereby tumors are destroyed. The immediate clinical applications are pancreatic and brain cancers, two malignancies where traditional chemo- or radiotherapy is ineffective. There is tremendous interest in trying to understand the mechanism(s) whereby heavy-ion radiation destroys hard-to-treat tumors. RARAF is the only radiation research facility in the nation that has the technical capabilities, resources and scientific expertise to achieve this goal. We need to understand exactly how it works so it can be optimized for each patient. To build a heavy ion generator with enough energy to carry out this research, we need a $2 million custom designed and manufactured turnkey “linear accelerator”, or LINAC. The research will take place at the Radiological Research Accelerator Facility (RARAF) in Irvington, NY in Westchester County. RARAF is a National Biomedical Technology Resource Center, founded 50 years ago, dedicated to understanding the biology underlying how different types of radiation affect cells and tissues. It is considered a world leader in the studies of radiation induced injury and response at the cellular and sub-cellular level and is the only such dedicated facility in the US. If successful, we anticipate that the research would greatly expand over the next few years to include construction of a larger beam as well as facilities appropriate to begin human clinical trials for treatment of brain and pancreatic cancers.

EFCO Products manufactures bakery mixes and powdered coatings (referred to as their “dry mix” line) and cooked fillings, toppings and syrups (referred to as their “wet mix” line). They see a great opportunity for increasing their global market share, but in order to take advantage of this opportunity, they must increase the capacity of their existing facilities and reduce the cost of manufacturing by improved throughput and productivity. The facility, located in the City of Poughkeepsie, is facing extremely limited capacity and they are unable to physically expand, therefore they must increase their capacity through continued investments and new equipment, facility upgrades, and personnel in order for their facility to remain in its current location. EFCO will increase the capacity of The City of Poughkeepsie plant, lowering their operating costs and improving their competitive position by investing in an industrial bakery mix bag filler, on-site cold storage facility, plant boiler and additional sweetener syrup storage tank.

VITS International, a women owned business, is an established (1984) reputable manufacturer in the printing & packing industry as a Finishing Equipment supplier. VITS is an approved supplier to the largest Press Manufacturers in the world, such as Heidelberg, GOSS, BOBST, MAN, HP, KODAK, CANON, and 60 others. More importantly, VITS is recognized as best-in-class and a high-tech innovator who stays ahead of the changing market needs. VITS business has been expanding beyond the capacity the company currently has. VITS is unable to find local fabrication shops to supply VITS & must source parts out of NYS. By adding a CNC/Fabrication line, it allows VITS to hire confidently, and make parts for others regularly, as well as make VITS parts when VITS equipment sales cycles are in decline. VITS will require additional space as the CNC business increases and will need to convert unused office space into manufacturing space, and add an elevated floor in the shop for engineering

Open Space Institute (OSI) seeks to construct a visitor center at the main visitor entrance to Minnewaska State Park Preserve, located at the heart of one of the Mid-Hudson Region’s most beloved and identifiable natural landscapes, the Shawangunk Ridge. The visitor center will transform the visitor experience and expand access to the park for seasoned and new audiences, increase year-round recreational opportunities, improve stewardship, and better promote one of the Region’s top tourism destinations. Less than 100 miles from New York City, Minnewaska is home to one of the most unique and stunning natural landscapes in New York State, as well as one of its rarest ecosystems. With highly accessible recreation options that range from miles of gentle, historic carriage roads and a bathing beach, to rock climbing and wilderness hiking, over 400,000 visitors come every year, making the park a major driver in the Mid-Hudson Valley economy. But the park is devoid of a welcome point for a dynamic and well-informed interaction with the park. It has no appropriate facility for its well-regarded environmental programs, no place to entice visitors for winter offerings like cross-country skiing and snowshoe hiking, and no easily accessible bathroom facilities other than portable toilets. A dedicated, four-season facility is needed for the park. The single-story, 6,000-square foot visitor center will provide welcoming amenities and orientation for expanded and enriched visitation; serve as the base for expansion of the park’s education programs; connect people to the beauty of our Region; improve opportunities to enjoy the landscape; promote healthy lifestyles by getting more people out on the abundant trails and carriage roads; and illuminate the park’s natural resources and history.

Hudson River Fruit Distributors currently owns and farms over 400 acres in New York and Vermont. In addition, they represent over 50 New York State and New England growers in the marketing and sales of their fruit. They meticulously maintain their orchards; constantly replanting to update their varieties, and replenishing older trees with new. They are extremely environmentally and health conscious, always keeping abreast of new developments regarding food safety and use organic practices and integrated pest management to reduce their carbon footprint and ensure our safety. At this time, they do not have the space necessary to store their locally grown apples. They are forced to spread the apples out between storage facilities as far away as Western NY. The project will be to construct a 5 room Controlled Atmosphere Building to be used for apple storage. The building will be constructed on land currently owned by Hudson River Fruit Distributors and will be designed and constructed by Storex. The outcome will be more storage for local fresh produce grown that will then be sold and delivered to the surrounding area. This will create more jobs in our area and allow them to pack 11-12 months a year. This project will not only support Hudson River Fruit Distrbutors, but all the local farmers they partner with as well, creating a more year round revenue stream for the agriculture industry in the Mid-Hudson.

RESTORATION OF THE HISTORIC ANTRIM LODGE

CFA NUMBER: 74811APPLICANT NAME: THE ANTRIM LLCPROJECT LOCATION: ROSCOE, SULLIVAN COUNTY

A vacant and neglected 9,400 square-foot administrative building, located on 1.5 acres at the former Mid-Orange Correctional Facility in Warwick, NY, will be transformed into a thriving 10-barrel production brewhouse, renovated to include: a canning line, tasting room, event space, outdoor beer garden, and an artisanal brick oven pizza kitchen. The remaining space will be allocated to inventory management and wholesale shipping/distribution purposes. Various marketing, advertising, and special events will be held to promote the business and the region simultaneously. The existing business, built in 2015, quickly outgrew its small 1,500 sq ft building and 2 barrel brewhouse due to its popularity and award winning beers. To meet excess demand, the business was forced to outsource production to other breweries. Brewing under contract has significant disadvantages, such as: higher production costs, decreased quality potential, limitations on the number and types of products offered, and increased transportation costs and emissions. Consequentially, if this expansion is not made, the company will not remain competitive within the industry, nor will it be able to continue stimulating the economy through tourism and job creation.

The project involves the restoration of the historic Antrim Lodge which, prior to its closing in 1994, was the premier country inn, restaurant and bar in the Catskills. The Antrim will function as a hub for visitors to explore the Catskills while enjoying upscale accommodations and a destination restaurant. Located at 89 Highland Avenue in the central business district of Roscoe (“Trout Town, USA”), the Lodge is just off Route 17, about 2 hours from New York City. The restored Antrim Lodge will offer 14 upscale guest rooms, each with private bath and modern amenities; an elegant 75-person dining room; and a lower ground floor bar with fireplace for casual dining and drinks. Catering to anglers and outdoor enthusiasts, the ground floor will have a gear room for guests to store outdoor clothing and equipment. The Lodge will also accommodate weddings, events and conferences. Approximately 15 minutes away, the Antrim Streamside will offer lodging for up to an additional 18 guests along the banks of the Willowemoc River. All guests will have access to nearly a mile of private trout fishing, hiking, snowshoeing and cross country skiing on over 200 acres of adjacent private property. The Antrim will also operate its own farm that will provide pasture raised meats and poultry, fruits and vegetables to the Antrim. The farm will also host agri-tourism events. The result of this project will be the re-establishment of an iconic destination that will address the lodging needs of visitors to the Catskills, while also helping to transform a distressed community.

The MHREDC has been extremely fortunate to collaborate and partner with eight work groups, made up of hundreds of individuals from the public and private sectors that volunteer their time, talent, and expertise. In 2017, the Council encouraged each of the work groups to continue to align their efforts with the strategies of the Region and the State. The collaboration between the MHREDC and each of the work groups has proven to be invaluable and has led to the creation and retention of jobs and the investment of State resources in the community. Following are descriptions of the Council’s eight work groups (presented in alphabetical order).

Work group Descriptions

WORK GROUP MEMBERSHIP GUIDE

*Co-Chairs*REDC Members

GLOBAL NY

The MHREDC’s Global NY International Advisory Work Group develops and implements global marketing and export strategies and builds foreign trade and investment approaches into the Council’s strategic planning efforts. The group aims to widen the Region’s lens in trade strategy development and to assemble and align regional assets that will assist area businesses in competing globally.

INFRASTRUCTURE

The Infrastructure Work Group advises the MHREDC on issues and priorities related to the Region’s physical and organizational structures—the built environment. Areas of focus include the New NY Bridge, Stewart International Airport, Montreign Casino, and A Regional Infrastructure Report (in partnership with Hudson Valley Pattern for Progress). A key priority for the work group this year was the development of infrastructure strategies to support downtown revitalization.

Norwegian Air launched their inaugural flights between Stewart International Airport and Edinburgh Airport in Scotland on July 15, 2017. The route launch marks the first scheduled and international transatlantic flights from Stewart International Airport. The 120 passengers who travelled from Edinburgh, Scotland to New York were greeted by crowds cheering and applauding, complimentary I Love NY goodie bags and a barbershop quartet.

Mary Kay Vrba, co-chair of the MHREDC’s Tourism/Path Through History Work Group, addressed the Council in early 2017 about the opportunity to market the Northeast corridor to international travelers coming into the Region by Norwegian Air via Stewart. The Council tasked the Tourism/Path Through History Workgroup with putting together a plan to educate international travelers about attractions in the Mid-Hudson Region.

NATURAL RESOURCES

The Natural Resources Work Group researches and advises the Council on projects and initiatives related to the MHREDC’s PLAY Strategy. While utilizing the Hudson Valley Regional Council’s “Mid-Hudson Regional Sustainability Plan,” the group ensures the MHREDC’s economic development strategy aligns with the need to leverage the Region’s outstanding natural resources, including its unique social, cultural and natural history, to sustain the Mid-Hudson’s unparalleled quality of life and support key industries such as agriculture, tourism, arts and culture, and sustainable energy.

OPPORTUNITY AGENDA

The Opportunity Agenda Work Group continues to analyze and focus on the needs of economically distressed communities identified by the Council (See page 38 for list of communities), with the goal of ensuring the development of inclusive economic development policies including job creation, community revitalization, transportation, and workforce training.

REGIONAL ECONOMIC CLUSTER PROGRAM

The Regional Economic Cluster Work Group (formerly referred to as the “Industry Cluster” Work Group) identifies and researches the growth of existing and/or emerging industry trends. Working with the Mid-Hudson’s MEP Center and other industry experts, this group continues to promote and enhance the growth of the Food and Beverage Manufacturing Supply Chain. It aims to catalogue companies and related assets, explore the attraction of out-of-state companies, strengthen key enablers for cluster growth (e.g. human capital, innovation and commercialization, infrastructure, or local governance), and to coordinate efforts through meetings, other activities, and events.

SMALL BUSINESS/MWBE

Acknowledging the fact that the majority the Mid-Hudson’s businesses have fewer than 20 employees, the Council established the Small Business Work Group to address issues faced by small businesses throughout the Region. Through networking, roundtable events and leveraging existing organizations, this group seeks to address the Council’s priority of supporting and encouraging Minority and Women-Owned Business Enterprises (MWBEs).

TOURISM/PATH THROUGH HISTORY (PTH)

The Tourism and Path Through History Work Groups joined efforts in 2016 to continue to promote destination tourism throughout the Region to not only the hundreds of museums, parks, and galleries, but also the rapidly growing food and beverage destinations including the many craft breweries, cideries, distilleries, and wineries. The work group, including representatives from a diverse cross section of stakeholders, works collaboratively to identify transformative projects, facilitate partnerships, and is a forum for project development.

An active Region calls for an active Council, and engagement with elected and community stakeholders continues to be a priority for the MHREDC. For a seventh straight year, Council members continued their extensive outreach, often utilizing their own staff and resources to host CFA workshops and info sessions throughout the Region. These efforts impacted each of our seven counties, as evidenced by the geographic distribution of the meetings at which the CFA process was promoted in 2017 (see map on next page).

Since the implementation of the Council’s strategies depends upon an available quantity of quality projects, the MHREDC focused on encouraging members of the public to submit strategy-aligned project applications in this year’s CFA process. In collaboration with non-profit organizations, County elected officials, and regional economic development partners, the Council hosted 22 public meetings, presentations, workshops, and interviews throughout the seven-county region this year, with a total attendance of 1,484 stakeholders. Through these efforts, the Council has further strengthened public private partnerships and promoted intra- and inter-regional collaboration, the outgrowth of which is a robust, diverse project pipeline.

In 2017, the MHREDC received more CFA applications than any other region (306), and the largest number of Downtown Revitalization Initiative applications (29) statewide.

MID-HUDSON DRI PROCESS

The MHREDC’s process for Round Two of the DRI was identical to its process for Round One. To identify its proposed Mid-Hudson DRI Community, the Council undertook a multi-stage process. The DRI application and instructions were distributed to all 192 municipalities in the Region in May 2017. Attributing the success of Round One to exceptional public and municipal participation, the MHREDC continued its extensive outreach this year, making sure to detail the DRI in addition to the CFA at multiple info sessions held across the region. Hundreds of attendees representing all seven counties participated in these sessions. Round Two of the Downtown Revitalization Initiative in the Mid-Hudson region proved to be just as competitive as the first. Engagement of public and local elected officials led to a total of 29 applications that were received in the Mid-Hudson – the highest number received by any region in the State.Following the review of all applications by MHREDC voting members, an initial ranking was completed based on the communities’ adherence to the DRI guidelines and their alignment with the Council’s regional strategies. Downtown revitalization is very important to the MHREDC, particularly because of its important inclusion in the Council’s LIVE strategy. The Mid-Hudson Region has a number of burgeoning urban centers along the Hudson River and other historic transportation corridors. Each year, the MHREDC continues to support projects that will unlock dormant potential in downtown areas to further the economic resurgence in the region’s cities, towns and villages.The ten top-ranking communities were invited to present their proposal to the voting and ex-officio members of the Council, although only voting members participated in ranking or voting on the proposals. Following the presentations and much deliberation by the Council, the MHREDC, by majority vote, recommended the City of Kingston to the Department of State as the Mid-Hudson DRI community.

WHY THE CITY OF KINGSTON?

The City of Kingston has gone through an awakening in recent years, as it is becoming a locality where people of all ages want to live, work and play. New York’s first capital has a renewed energy and excitement that is palpable from the waterfront, through midtown, into uptown and the Stockade Business District. Kingston is ready now for its rebirth.The MHREDC had many reasons for selecting Kingston as the Mid-Hudson’s Round Two winner. City government has cultivated strong public/private partnerships that have become the driving force in readying the City to implement key projects and planned infrastructure improvements. The local government has strong administrative capacity to undertake diverse projects that will reenergize the City and restore the assets it holds. Additionally, equitable development strategies to address the potential for redevelopment displacement are among the City’s many attributes. The City has an AA- bond rating, the fourth-highest on Standard & Poor’s 24-grade credit rating scale, and in 2016 Kingston had a $1.6 million surplus.

Downtown Revitalization Initiative Plan Round Two

round two

DRI ROUND 2 WINNER: STOCKADE BUSINESS DISTRICT

CITY OF KINGSTON “ ”


CITY OF KINGSTON DEFINED DRI BOUNDARY

Kingston’s DRI target area is its Uptown Stockade Business District (SBD). Considered the gateway to Kingston and to the Catskills, people arrive by car, bus, bicycle or foot to this compact and well-defined neighborhood. It is considered a central hub for transportation connections to the rest of the county, region and New York City. Including the Kingston Plaza, Dietz Stadium, and residential neighborhoods, the SBD encompasses 540 parcels on approximately 267 acres (5% of the City’s 8.6 square miles). The SBD contains a unique National Historic District that was the City’s original, fortified settlement bounded by Clinton Avenue, North Front, Green and Main Streets.

The SBD is part of the Heritage Area defined by Kingston’s Urban Cultural Park Plan and was home to the first Dutch Settlers and the site of the first NYS Senate House. Throughout history the SBD has been the city’s accessible and walkable economic hub. Within the last ten years, the SBD has experienced a renaissance led by an influx of new investments as well as the resurgence of new cafes, restaurants, and boutique shops in the storefronts. It is the location of County office buildings, financial and professional services offices, the City’s sole supermarket, and key recreational spaces.

OPPORTUNITY IN THE CITY OF KINGSTON

Kingston has an ideal combination of recent strategic investments, shovel-ready future opportunities, involved anchor institutions and partners, recent infrastructure improvements, and supportive policies and plans to jump-start the planning process and leverage DRI investment to cement Kingston’s status as the region’s economic engine. The City has invested more than $300M over the last 10 years in major public infrastructure projects.

Kingston is unique in that it has become a magnet for businesses in a range of industry sectors including manufacturing, innovation technology, craft food and beverage, and tourism such as hospitality and entertainment. Recently the City has attracted a number of film and television production companies that hold the promise of increased investment and job opportunities.

The City of Kingston has been identified as an opportunity area by the MHREDC, and a total of 36 projects have been awarded in the City through the Regional Council process since 2011. An impressive 24 of those projects are already complete or progressing. The City’s revitalization efforts are consistent with the MHREDC’s regional strategy, and Kingston has been a strong partner with the Council in implementing that vision. There are many catalyst projects in Kingston that have been supported through the Regional Council process and have been recently completed or are in various stages of development.

A prominent example within the DRI Boundary is RUPCO, Inc.’s planned redevelopment of a defunct 70,000-square-foot factory in the City of Kingston. Phase I of RUPCO’s nearly $8.9 million project achieved property acquisition and was a 2016 MHREDC Priority Project. Phase II is a 2017 Proposed Priority Project, which includes the build-out of the space – the Metro – to create a state-of-the-art Media, Arts and Technology Center including a hub for Stockade Works’ film/TV production that will feature a soundstage/event space, post production color, sound, and editing suites, a high end screening room, a dine-in movie theater, a 99-seat theater, hands-on learning galleries, co-working spaces and offices. Another example is BBG Ventures, LLC’s transformation of the former Woolworth building on Wall Street in the heart of uptown Kingston’s Stockade Business District. A $7.9 million project which was awarded a $1 million ESD Capital Grant in Round 6, will rehabilitate the 18,000-square-foot building for its adaptive reuse as a food and beverage manufacturing and retail facility called Kingston Food Exchange, providing city residents and visitors with access to locally-sourced fresh food and produce. The project will create 90 jobs over five years.

Additional catalyst projects in Kingston have been supported through the Regional Council process, although mostly located outside of the Stockade Business District but within city limits in other sections of the city (midtown, downtown, etc.), are also contributing to its revitalization. Notable examples include: Hudson Landing Promenade ($2.4M), Ulster County STRIVE – a satellite campus of SUNY Ulster ($7.83M), final phases of interior/exterior renovations of the Ulster County Performing Arts Center (UPAC) ($1M), the Cornell Street Mixed-Use Redevelopment Project ($1.4M), HealthAlliance of the Hudson Valley’s Medical Village ($5.57M), expanded programmatic capacity of

the Hudson River Maritime Museum ($653K), the Sloop Clearwater Restoration Project ($465K), and more.

The City has attracted significant private investment recently, including: the Kingston Plaza Façade and Parking Improvements ($3M);, the Senate Garage event space and wedding venue ($1M), Keegan Ales microbrewery business development ($2.5 M), The Kirkland project – a mixed use redevelopment project ($4.2M), and the Best Western Hotel renovation ($3M).

Within the SBD there are at least a dozen vacant residential buildings and many other commercial vacant buildings. In addition to completely vacant buildings, there are also many vacant spaces on second and third floors of buildings and partially filled office spaces. There are also 10 acres of developable land in the Plaza.

Adjacent to this district are both mixed-income neighborhoods and two of the county’s poorest census tracts. The City has a range of housing choices, from studio apartments to single- and multi-family homes at a variety of price points. A zoning committee meets monthly to implement the goals of the new Comprehensive Plan, adopted in March 2016, and to work on inclusionary housing affordability. The City is also working to address its “zombie” properties and foreclosures and has embarked on the creation of a land bank. All of these efforts, coupled with the revitalization in the SBD, will decrease youth flight from the City and the Mid-Hudson Region.

THE CITY OF KINGSTON’S VISION

The City of Kingston chose to focus the DRI investment in the SBD in order to solidify its role as the economic engine for the rest of the City, the county, and the region. While the City has made recent investments in the surrounding areas, targeted investment in public infrastructure within the SBD will address key constraints – parking availability, multi-modal transportation connectivity and floodplain designation – that are hindering the district’s success.

In addition to infrastructure investments, leveraging recent and potential private investment will be key to the revitalization of the Stockade Business District. Future public and private investments include: The Kingstonian – a mixed use commercial and residential project and parking structure on North Front St. ($43.8M), the Kingston Plaza Hannaford Supermarket Redevelopment ($10-12M), the Kingston Food Exchange project ($7.9M), and Hudson Valley Kingston Development, LLC’s concurrent redevelopment of two buildings to serve as sister boutique hotels ($4.7M).

With an infusion of technical and financial assistance under the DRI, the City will be able to solve key infrastructure challenges, advance catalytic projects that encourage and support private investment and local business development, and deploy strategies to grow in an equitable way that protects current residents and businesses. The City of Kingston’s Stockade Business District will achieve a truly sustainable revitalization.

LOOKING AHEAD

The Department of State selected VHB to assist the local planning committee and the City of Kingston in taking advantage of this exciting opportunity. The MHREDC will continue to work closely with the City of Kingston and the DRI Planning Committee on the implementation of the DRI plans.

SPECIAL THANKS to REDC Co-Chair Len Schleifer whose long tenure on the Council began in 2011 when the Regional Councils were formed, and ended in 2016 when he stepped down as Co-Chair.

We would also like to acknowledge REDC member, Dr. Cliff L. Wood who retired in 2017 as President of SUNY Rockland and whose contributions greatly benefitted the council as well. Paul Ryan, President, Westchester/Putnam Central Labor Body, Local Union #3 IBEW retired from his Union post and also stepped down from his role on the council.
